Well, if you accept that you COULD be paying X for two years of laptop usage,
then fine. But as Liam mentioned, the warranty may be upgradable to 3 year -
check into cost of this. And I am wary of C&R warranties - how long will they
take to do the R part ? Dell's next business day call and fix warranty is bad
enough (oh we don't have that exotic spare part right now - sorry - look at
the small print). Something which starts of as less than that can only get
worse. Of course, it all depends on how badly you want/need to have your
laptop.
